CAT . . .

Cat Purdue has come a long way from the days when her father used her as partial payment for a gambling debt to a ruthless man. Reacquiring the saloon Father had lost, and turning it into a successful restaurant, is only the beginning of her drive for success.

FRANK . . .

Unable to reconcile the new, sophisticated Catherine Purdue from the saloon girl he once dallied with and foolishly spurned, Frank Carter finds himself blocking his growing attraction with sharp words and sarcasm. But when the Carters’ old nemesis escapes prison and comes back to Little Creede for vengeance, Frank’s only thought is to protect Cat, as well as his family.
There is further evidence of links amerikabulteni.com generic cialis for women between the two brains in our response to stress.

A PAIR OF HEARTS . . .

Determined to lead separate lives yet bound together by danger and their growing desire, Frank and Cat will leave their mark in the new state of Colorado.

I have mixed feelings about this book. It’s the second in the series and it’s obvious the main couple had had issues in the first book they were having to work out in this book. It’s technically a standalone, but I think my enjoyment of it would have been enhanced had I read the first book in the series as well.

I really like the main character, Cat Perdue. She is my kind of character. She’s feisty, independent, but has a tender heart that’s easily bruised, so she puts up this really tough exterior. She has some wonderful qualities—she’s probably my favorite character in the book. She does the most growing, and it’s really interesting to watch her come into her own person.

Frank has been away and comes back to find things changed in his hometown. The dance hall/saloon is gone, and in its place is a fine dining establishment – run by none other than the former entertainer for the dance hall. He hurt her badly at some time in the past, but has never been able to stop thinking about her and wishing he could make amends. And, therein lies the rub.

This couple has to overcome the past and deal with issues in the present. They are drawn to each other, but it’s hard for each of them to be completely honest with each other. The story is told from both POVs, and I find myself wanting to shake them both (Frank more than Cat to be honest) and make them tell each other what they are thinking. Frank, especially, would have come a long way if he had just told he how much he regretted what had happened. Of course, then we wouldn’t have had a book.

I did enjoy the book a lot- I love the extended family and all the family dynamics. Frank and his brother are sometimes too over-the-top protective of their female relations, but that’s part of the Code of the West and, I feel, very accurate for the time.

The writing is excellent, and I really felt I was there. I hurt along with Cat when she hurt. Kudos to the author, because I was really engrossed in the story… so much I stayed up way to late reading it! I would happily read more from this author. And, now I have to go read the first book!

Dear Lady Truelove . . .

My twin brother and I need a new mother, though Papa insists he’ll never marry again. Must be nice, brainy, and fond of cats . . .

Lady Truelove may be London’s most famous advice columnist, but James St. Clair, the Earl of Kenyon, knows his wild young sons need a tutor, not a new mother. They need a man tough enough to make his hellions tow the line, and James is determined to find one.

We have many retained customers enjoying on line cialis our services without any hesitation. tadalafil super active The perfect time for the bath is prescribed as twenty minutes. Erectile dysfunction or impotency is the inability of a man to have or maintain an erection in order for sexual intercourse to take place is called erectile dysfunction. http://www.devensec.com/forms/November%202008.pdf cialis levitra generika Addition ingestion cheapest price for tadalafil of dosage is known to have speculative effects on health. Miss Amanda Leighton, former schoolteacher and governess, knows she has all the qualifications to be a tutor. And while female tutors are unheard of, Amanda isn’t about to lose the chance at her dream job because of pesky details like that. If Lord Kenyon insists on hiring a man, then she has only one option . . .

Jamie isn’t sure what to make of his new employee, until he realizes the shocking truth—beneath the ill-fitting suits, his boys’ tutor is a woman. An unconventional, outspoken, thoroughly intriguing woman. Despite Amanda’s deception, he can’t dismiss her when his boys are learning so much. Yet Jamie, too, is learning surprising lessons—about desire, seduction, and passionate second chances . . .

Oh, I really liked this one. The first chapter set the plot up perfectly and I was instantly enchanted. How could I not after meeting Owen and Colin St. Clair, two boys with pronounced personalities, and all they wanted was a mother who loved them? They have a grouch of a dad who wanted and demanded a certain kind of person for a nanny or tutor for his kids. The one person who could make a difference overheard a conversation that practically shut the door in her face for any chance of her being that person. However, the hero, Jamie, didn’t count on the sheer grit and determination of the heroine, Amanda. The questions of, how do Jamie and Amanda meet, how does she convince him she’s the right person for the job, and the complications that arise from her successful attempt, are all the elements needed to snare a reader. It’s the answers that kept me flipping page after page with never a dull moment between chapters. This was an excellent read.

I admit that the title, Governess Gone Rogue is what grabbed my attention, and yes, the plot made me curious but it’s the delivery that made me a very happy reader. The secondary characters are really important because they helped stir the plot, kept things interesting and showed me just who Amanda really was. I liked her a lot. Jamie is no slouch but he takes some getting used to. Not that he’s a bad character, far from it. He has some hang-ups he needs to get over before he can start living life again, instead of just going through the motions. His “wake up” was quite entertaining.

My favorite crisis is when Amanda realized that the ‘details’ that make up the person she chose to be is a bit more complicated than she imagined. I laughed, but I also appreciated the author actually figuring things out, or at least had Amanda do the best that she could. I have often wonderful about the very things that caused the heroine to panic, and I was actually glad Ms. Guhrke tackled those issues. I even enjoyed how it was done. It’s a strong plus for the story.

My next favorite dilemma is Jamie’s reaction to his discovery. Poor guy was stretched like taffy, he didn’t know quite what to do. Oh, he had ideas, sexy ideas, but that didn’t solve the most important challenge, taming his two rambunctious, clever and determined young sons. I enjoyed watching the hero come to terms with what is most important in his life. It was rather heartwarming when he finally figured it out.

There was a fly in the ointment, so to speak. A dastardly villain from Amanda’s past shows up to do what bad guys do best – muck things up. Even this conflict was well handled by the author and I found myself cheering for the characters I’d come to adore, Amanda and Jamie, Owen and Collin.

The book has a great happy ever after ending that is so romantic and beautiful, I read it twice. Governess Gone Rogue is a wonderful story. It has heart, love, passion and humor. I happily recommend this book to all romance fans everywhere.

Something is awake.

This virus makes people literally disappear, swallowed by a rapidly evolving enemy. Desperate to find a way to save her love, Harriet must move fast to discover a cure.

For her, failure is not an option, and loose threads must be quickly cut.

Something is awake. And it wants to feed.

This brand new disease is many things, but benign isn’t one of them.

The scientific explanation for how The Fading worked fascinated me. Since the narrator took plenty of time to go into detail about how this virus affected sick people and what scientists were learning about it as it spread, I felt like I understood it incredibly well. The more I learned about it, the scarier it became to me in a good way. I could picture what every stage of the disease felt like, and that was exactly what this story needed in order to thrive in this reader’s imagination.

I would have preferred to see a little more time spent on the character development. As interesting as all of the characters were, most of them didn’t change very much as a result of the things that happened to them during the course of the storyline. There was so much going on with The Fading and humanity’s rush to figure out how to fight it that I found that surprising. This was the only thing keeping this book from earning a perfect five-star rating as I loved everything else about it.

There were so many clever plot twists in this tale. Some of them had to do with what the virus was capable of, while others involved the characters’ reactions to this disease as it continued to spread to every corner of the Earth. While I can’t go into any further details about them, they delighted me over and over again. When I begin telling my friends they should read this, the joy I felt while discovering these twists will be the first thing I mention!

If you love dystopian fiction, I’d definitely recommend giving The Fading a try.

Ever since their first days together at Quantico, FBI agents Ev Motovolo, Lucas Vallejo and Quinn Langston have had one another’s backs. They’re as close as friends can get, sharing everything from an apartment to the past traumas that few others know about.

But that all changed, when Quinn and Ev confessed their feelings for each other six months ago…and then three days later when she started having erotic dreams about the other most important man in their lives.

She’s hopeful that a trip to Wolf Creek, Montana for a friend’s wedding can help her put those frustrating desires to rest, but when she gets there, Ev finds two examples of just how well unorthodox relationships can work. Maddy and Lily Hollis, the owner of the Triple Diamond B&B and her sister, are both happily involved with two men and it only serves to make Ev’s situation all the more complicated.

But before Ev is able to untangle her feelings, or have that impossible conversation with her two best friends, they’re thrust into a violent situation that might just rip away any future they could have shared. And if all three of them do make it out alive, will they have the courage to defy the status quo and embrace what’s waiting for them on the other side?

Not everyone sees a menage as a ‘normal’ relationship. Ev is one of these people, although she has dreams of being in a threesome with her boyfriend and their best friend. That can never happen though, right?

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, and thought it very well-written with plenty of thought and discussion going into whether they can make it work together or not. It wasn’t just accepted by the three of them, like it can be at times. No, instead, they had to work at it and make a conscious decision over what they would do. I loved that!

All three main characters are well-rounded out, and the supporting cast is excellent. The setting sounds wonderful, and Montana is now on my bucket list! With a fast yet smooth pace, I found this story to be gripping without being rushed. There is fun, there is danger, there are certainly hot and steamy times. All in all, what more could you want? Absolutely recommended by me.
